The per diem rate for this service has been $105 since <br />2014. In accordance with Jail cost recovery strategies, a new per diem rate of $115 has been <br />negotiated, which reflects the cost of providing these services and will generate approximately an <br />additional $1,460,000 million annually. The total annual housing revenue generated by this <br />agreement (Exhibit 1) will be $16,790,000 at the current daily population of 400 inmates (400 <br />inmates x $115 per day x 365 days per year). <br />In addition, the US Marshals Service agreed to increase the transportation hourly rate from $36 to <br />$50 per staff hour, plus mileage reimbursed at the General Services Administration (GSA) Travel <br />Regulation Mileage Rate. The total additional transportation revenue generated by this agreement <br />is estimated to be $98,000 annually. The total annual transportation revenue generated will be <br />approximately $350,000 at this new rate. <br />In accordance with this agreement, the Jail agrees to provide secure custody, safekeeping, <br />housing, subsistence, and care of federal detainees in accordance with all state and local laws, <br />standards, regulations, policies, and court orders applicable to the operation of the facility.
